Covers Fantasy Basketball Discussion Thread Part 5

I think it's time the Clippers trade Eric Gordon. Randy Foye is clearly their best guard.

Since trading Howard...I've moved from the high 60% in FT% to now .742. If I can keep creeping back up I'd be happy. Just don't let me finish with the worst...anything else is acceptable.

Like I said...the only reason I'm still following is our side bet and I can guess you're the same way. 13 teams and the season is over for the top 3 guys and it's a 3 man race for the 4th spot. Everyone else is all but out of it. Hell...I don't think the bottom 9 ever had a chance since the 2nd week of the season.

And hey...I have a pretty damn good team now. If it were h2h style I may still be in it. But I guess there's no point in complaining because we know we're not doing this next season. We just have to find a way that h2h would work fairly.

That is the only way I can trade Gasol. If we can work something out around that it'll work...if not...I can't.

I'll try and do the overall weekly changes again. I haven't had time of late but I'll try. It would be from 1/10 though so it's a big time between but it will be back on schedule next week.

.709 FT% on 1/03

.742 FT% on 2/03

Still in last by .020 

Sparky why are you always trying to trade me a bum? What am i going to do with Austin Daye besides put him on my bench? Shit he rides your bench.

I don't know what you're willing to do. You love Crawford so I don't know where you rank Conley. Daye was the guy I would drop to make it Odom/Conley for Gasol. You're praising Crawford but I don't like him that much. He's good for points and 3's but I've learned that I'm not going to give up too much for a poor FG or FT% guy as 1 bad guy brings down your entire team.

All you want is Gasol so I might as well throw the guys I'm going to drop to you in whatever trade we do...maybe they'll help you out once you have them. If you don't like them...drop them and pick up whoever you wanted to take the empty spot you would have had.

I cant trade those 2 for Gasol. Where do i win? I can throw in someone like Crawford if i can get a decent player back and not something called a Daye. It would be Odom, Conley, Crawford for Gasol and ?

Andy pettite to announce retirement Friday sparky...  

I don't want Crawford. That FG% would hurt me BAD. Like I said...I'm not trading Gasol unless I feel that I win.

Cash is going to go on the podium and offer $25 million and he'll stay.

Gasol is the best player in the trade and he's only moved me up the ranks so if I don't feel the trade works for me, I'm not gonna do it just to trade (contrary to what I've done in the past), ya know?

6 spots now. 3-13 tonight

And it's not like he has a bad shooting stroke from the line. Like...I can see why Shaq is such a bad FT shooter. He looks lost at the line and he caltapults the ball towards the basket. It's just weird to see him struggle so badly.

ILYASOVA!

im still baffled that this guy cant shoot FT's, its an absolute joke and i think im gonna invest in sixers tickets when the magic come to town and get seats right behind the magic bench and just rip the shit outta him all night.. 

in the offseason get your lazy fuckin ass up each morning and shoot 500 FT's and do it again at night until you can at least make 75% with ease... these guys get paid millions and to shoot 3-13 is just unacceptable..   they'r free shots and its close for christs sake... its really makes me sick to my stomach to see these "pro's" struggle from the stripe...   im gettin' all fired up so im gonna stop now    

i want baseball to start

You know what that 3-13 means right? 10 pushups for his 10 misses!!! Soon that man of steel is going to get tired doing all those 10 pushups. He probably works more a sweat on rebound than 10 freaking pushups.

Carlos Delfino

philly...7.5 now.

My lead has gotten a lot smaller.  Looks like we'll have a race for first place after all.

Sparky, I sent you an offer.  Lots of talent involved.  Let me know what you think.

  

Kidd's FG% is horrific. Bynum is a walking injury and I have no interest in Frye. Sorry but I wouldn't trade either one of those guys for those 3 let alone both.

I want Kidd so I can turn around and trade him but it's not worth giving up either of those 2 guys. I wouldn't give up too much for Bynum because you never know when he's going to get hurt. He's good when he plays but the risk is too much to part with a lot for.

I'm 3 steps ahead of all the trades I make. If 1 goes through...I already know what I'm doing with the next. I don't need Kidd's assists as I have Calderon and Nash. I don't need 3's from Frye nor do I need the rebounds and blocks Bynum gets if it means losing Aldridge/Gasol as it turns into a HUGE minus for me in return. I lose out on points, rebounds, blocks, FG%, turnovers and I only gain in, well, not much. It just doesn't make any sense for me.
